Insurer drops coverage for two black Southern churches
A leading church insurer, Preferred Risk, withdraws coverage for two black churches after arson claims. One church in Georgia faced 188000 dollars of losses, with total claims to 195000 across four cases. The other church, in Tennessee, has an unnamed name. The move follows pressures from investigations into targeted fires against black congregations in the South since January 1996. Firefighters saved a New Orleans church under construction, with witnesses citing arson.
